<drool> WOW! i think i need a bib now b/c i'm drooling all over my shirt... no, but seriously, very nice and clean looking install. the intercooler looks huge and pretty intimidating, i guess it has to be farily large for the RB25 though. what where the issues of fitting that into an S13 engine bay? what color are you gonna spray it? very, very nice!
Looks great! Are you planning on keeping the intake pipeing stock like that? When do you expect it to be finished? Have any 510 pics?
WOW!!!!
That thing is looking badass.
What front bumper is that BTW?

A full roll cage...an RB 2.5 turbo engine, and a nice looking body....i hate you!! haha j/k. If you are taking sugestions on colors, i would recomend the white color off the 88 10th anniversary turbo II rx7. Its a real bright white. OR, you could go for a nice silver.
Nice car, NICE!! What kind of wheels are ya running?

Very nice Grump!
Have you shown the Velocity guys yet?
Yeah, I had the same question as Kitoro, urethane front kit?
Grumpy

Thanx everyone!!!!
I am still not to sure on the color though. I might go with this purple.
The bumper is fiberglass. It is for a 98 S14 from Omega. I just finished fitting it to the car. Took about 1 week to glass and shape it.
The car should be done by mid march. I am trying to get it done so I can enter it in the Sport Compact Ulitimate Street Car Shootout. I think it will do good in the contest.
You can see more 510 pictures on our webpage and old pictures of my car too.
SAD, if you look close you can see me using the dragcar as a storage self... hehehehehe BAD GRUMPY!!!!!!
Thanx again,
Grumpy

let's get serious, guys. Grump, where you at and do you offer any test drives?? i'll pay you
Nice
I assume thats the front bumper that was on that one Silver S13 that was in Super Street not long ago?
They mentioned that it was for an S14 so they cut it right down the middle and reworked it.

Hey Yoshi, No the Velocity guys have not seen it yet.
I was thinking of Silver but it would be to close to the other 240 that was in Super Street. Got to be something different.
Yep same bumper. But I didn't cut it down the center. I reworked the sides so I could keep the opening for the intercooler the same size.
My shop does the swap. I am putting a RB20DET into a 240z right now. He is also in my club........ Velocity Cali.
Yes, I'll give people rides... hehehehehe J/J. But at the 240 convention if any body wants to drive it they could if they ask, MAYBE!!!!!!

Get the 10th anniversary Turbo II rx-7 white. It would look briliant with your car!

Nice work...it looks like that car will be kickin' major a$$!
:cool: :biggrin: :cool:
Grumpy, would you be willing to fit another one for my s13 silvia project if I were to pay for labor and have it sent to you from Omega or whatever distributor? PLMK! Thanks!
That is the exact front I want, I saw it on the silver s13 silvia owned by the guy from iloveracing.org. I just need to find someone who will cut it and re shape it.
Grumpy

I might be able too. Just depends when you need it....
I could just make a copy of of mine and just sell it that way. Might be a lot easier for me and have it for other people too.....
Grumpy
Id be down whenever although im not starting my project car for another year or so. Just let me know. Im sure alot of people would love to have that bumper.
I would help sell them off Zilvia.net if you can produce them, or get them produced. Just an idea though.

Grumpy,
How come you never showed up in Chicago? If I recall correctly, you were gonna stop by at one point last year with some drifting videos <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>.
